Obtaining information about usage

...

per user for license server

If you want to obtain retrieve information about usage history comparison for features, per user for license servers we recommend that you use the following URL request template.

Code Block
languagejs
firstline1
linenumberstrue
GET GET /api/v1/report/license-server/${licenseServerId}/usage-per-history/comparison/json?fi=user/${featureIdsreturnType}&?sd=${startDate}&ed=${endDate}&granularitygrat=${granularity}$(additional parameters, as needed)

where

 - $ indicates a variable value that you can replace with a proper value, according to your needs

 - possible parameters are as followsPossible parameters are as follows:

ParameterRequiredTypeDescription
featureIds
${licenseServerId}Yes
array
integer/string
Arrays of feature IDs in the following format: id1, id2, id3... for example fi=1,2,3,5

ID of single license server or "all" if information about all license servers is requested.

${returnType}YesstringSpecifies the format in which license usage data will be returned. The format can be one of the following: json, csv, xls, xlsx or pdf.
sdYesstringSpecifies the start date for which the report will be generated in YYYY-MM-DD format; for example, 2017-01-20.
edYesstringSpecifies the end date for which the report will be generated in YYYY-MM-DD format; for example, 2017-01-27.
granularity
gratYesinteger
 

Specifies granularity of the returned data, which can be one of the following:

  • Quarter - 2
  • Month - 3
  • Week - 4
  • Day - 5
  • Hour - 6

Currently the report is only returned only in JSON syntax. There are plans to introduce CSV, XLS and PDF formats in the future.

If your request is successful, you should see a response similar to the following:

Code Block
languagejs
{
	"success": ${success},
  	"msg": ${message},
  	"data": [
    	{
      		"fid": ${featureId_1},
      		"lud": ${date},
      		"lumin": ${minUsed},
      		"lua": ${averageUsed},
      		"lumax": ${maxUsed},
      		"lbmin": ${minBorrowed},
      		"lbmax": ${maxBorrowed},
      		"ldtc": ${denials},
      		"hu": ${hoursUsed},
      		"ft": ${total}
    	},
		{
      		"fid": ${featureId_2},
      		"lud": ${date},
      		"lumin": ${minUsed},
      		"lua": ${averageUsed},
      		"lumax": ${maxUsed},

      		"ft": ${total}
    	}
  	],
  	"code": ${code},
  	"totalCount": ${count}
}

where the fields have the same values as the ones explained in Obtaining information about usage history for feature, above.

Obtaining information about usage history for license server

If you want to obtain information about usage history for all visible features for a given server, we recommend that you use the following URL request template.

Code Block
languagejs
firstline1
linenumberstrue
GET /api/v1/report/usage-history/license-server/${lsid}/${returnType}?sd=${startDate}&ed={endDate}&granularity=${granularity}$(additional parameters, as needed)

Possible parameters are as follows:

ParameterRequiredTypeDescription${lsid}YesintegerLicense Server ID.${returnType}YesstringSpecifies the format in which license usage data will be returned. The format can be one of the following: json, csv, xls, xlsx or pdf.sdYesstring Specifies the start date for which the report will be generated in YYYY-MM-DD format; for example, 2017-01-20.edYesstring Specifies the end date for which the report will be generated in YYYY-MM-DD format; for example, 2017-01-27.granularityYesinteger  

Specifies granularity of the returned data, which can be one of the following:

 
  • Quarter - 2
  • Month - 3
  • Week - 4
  • Day - 5
  • Hour - 6
rnNostring 
agrtNointeger

Specifies aggregation type of the returned data, which can be one of the following:

  • Username - 1
  • Hostname - 2
  • Username and hostname - 3
  • Usergroup - 4
  • Hostgroup - 5

By default data is aggregated by username and hostname

rn

No

string

Specifies the name of the report that will be displayed once the report has been exported to PDF or XLS. For CSV and JSON formats this parameter will be ignored.
If you don't pass this parameter, it will be generated automatically for PDF and XLS types. If provided, it cannot be left empty.

filterNojson/string

Applies filtering license usage data on all fields.

To filter by string column, use the following format: 

Code Block
languagejs
[
	{ 
		"type": "string",

		"
field": "${lud | fns | fv | ftype}
field": "lud",
		"value": "${value}"
	}
]

To filter by numeric column, use the following format:

Code Block
languagejs
[
	{ 
		"type": "numeric", 
		"comparison": "${gt | lt | eq}", 
		"field": "${
lumin
fud | un | hn | lsn | fns | 
lua
fv | 
lumax
ftype | 
lbmin
musage | 
lbmax
hu | 
ldtc
mu | 
hu
hb | 
ft
mb}",
		"value": "${value}" 
	}
]


fieldsVisibilityNojson/string

Specifies field visibility settings,

for example

like this:

Code Block
languagejs
{ 
	"
lud
fud": "1", 
	"
lumin
un": "1", 
	"
lua
hn": "

1", 
	"
fns
mu": "1",
"fv":
 
"1",

	"
ftype
hb": 
"1" }where
"1
" indicates that a specific field is visible, ''0" indicates it is not.

Note that the order of the settings you make is important – when exported, the fields will be visible in exactly the same order you specify here.

limitNointeger Determines the maximum number of data records that can be returned. The value must be greater than zero.offsetNointeger Specifies the offset of the first row to return.orderByNostring

Specifies the field by which you want to order your data records. The field name can be one of the following: 

lud | fns | fv | ftype | fid | lumin | lua | lumax | lbmin | lbmax | ldtc | hu | ft
orderDirectionNostring Determines whether the sorting results will be displayed in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.

If your request is successful, you should see a response similar to the following:

", 
	"mb": "1"
}

where "1" indicates that a specific field is visible and ''0" indicates that it is not.

Note that the order of the settings you make is important – when exported, the fields will be visible in exactly the same order you specify here.
